Big Pharma wants it all. If Joe puts a cap on insulin, Big Pharma will not give him his 10%. Tough call for Joe.

High prices only hurt people that need this to live. Not dampen innovation. Big Pharmaceutical just want to get richer. Good job Biden!!! Keep up the great work!

Big pharma has been overcharging Americans for way too long, and then selling prescription drugs to other countries for a fraction of what they charge us. It`s time for Americans to stop being milked

Beware of unintended consequences. Like insulin shortages.

Adam, KMIZ doesn't want either one of us. Because we have an opinion, and don't walk lock step with them. Hang in there friend.

Horrible idea KMIZ. Will only make me not come here if it continues. What a pain.

Isn't the new annoying KMIZ popup fun. When you click on every article, you have to also delete the pop up, so you can read the article. So very intelligent of KMIZ.

That will be a way for Big Pharma, to justify price gouging. Excuse me, I mean, reasonable price increases.

Not since the Great Depression has wealth inequality in the US been so acute, Top 0.1% now worth as much as the bottom 90%. Prior to Reagan and trickle-down economics in the mid-80's, the bottom 90% held over 35% and the top 0.1% about 10%. And yet, the wealthiest among us still want more!

It will always be that way, because most people make bad choices.

Forgot one important fact ... Reagan and trickle-down economics also put us on the path to huge budget deficits and financial ruin.

Nothing the Democrats have done of offered has ever helped the majority of the people. Obamacare caused my healthcare to skyrocket and quality to plummet. Democratic scandals, such as those seen in Minnesota with the Somalians, far too common. It's past time to support out President.

Prior to the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies routinely denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. How exactly does that reduce the quality of coverage?

Fred

Right ... other than the 19th Amendment, Social Security, GI Bill, Medicare, Medicaid, Securities and Exchange Act, Rural Electrification Act, unemployment benefits, Voting Rights Act, Head Start & student loans, Republicans? Tax cuts for corporations & the wealthy.

If the revenue isn't replaced (along with cuts) with a flat/consumption/fair tax, then it's a waste of time. When it comes to spending money, republicans can waste it as much as the democrats.

It would probably be replaced by higher regressive sales tax rates.
